Today, I got a knock on my door at 3 a.m. Turns out, if I ignore my mother long enough, she will assume I have died and will call the cops. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my mother took a bunch of sleeping pills, then went driving. I followed her and dialed 911. Now she thinks that I was "trying to get her arrested," and she refuses to talk to me ever again. FML
Today, someone knocked at my door. I saw it was my Mom, so I flattened myself against the door and tried to be as quiet as possible. I pulled my phone out and almost had silenced it before she called and heard the ringtone through the door. I had to invite her in and hear the usual "get married and have kids." FML
Today, my mom is in the hospital and I'm sitting by the phone in case anyone calls with news. Each time the phone rings, I bolt upright to answer it. So far I've been woken up by two telemarketers, three robo-calls, and some old lady asking for Doris, who doesn't live here. I can't turn my phone off. FML
Today, I stopped by my elderly mother’s house to drop off some groceries. I decided to clean the place while I was there, just to be nice. In true Three Bears fashion, I fell asleep on the couch. I was awoken by a police officer pointing his gun at me. My mom woke up and thought I was a burglar. FML
Today, my mom barged into my room at three in the morning, demanding to know where I'd been. I'd been in my room sleeping since ten o'clock. In that time she had called the police, all of my friends, and my ex-boyfriend, asking if I was with them. FML
Today, I was so exhausted that I slept through my phone ringing, and later my doorbell ringing. My psycho mom freaked out, and thinking I was in trouble, broke a window to get inside. This all happened before 7 a.m. FML
Today, after getting home from a twelve-hour shift at work, I got into bed and passed out. My mother soon woke me up, screaming that she could tell I was "fake sleeping" and ignoring her lecture on how I need to stop being so "lazy". FML
Today, my phone rang for the first time in four days. It was my mom. She dialed the wrong number. FML
Today, my mother woke me up by loudly vacuuming the house. I had to work the next morning, so I asked her what she was thinking. She told me that if I was really tired and needed sleep, I wouldn't have woken up. It was 3 AM. FML
Today, I got home from work to find the door locked and dead bolted, so I used my cell to call the home phone while banging on the door. My stepmom came out of her room, looked right at me, laughed, and went back to bed. This is the fifth time she's done this. FML

When did she call the cops? Why would they show up at 3am? I mean, if you were really dead, you'd still be dead, at lets say... Nine. In the afternoon. (;

True..."at least she cares" is of course a good thing but it CAN be annoying. :D When I was in the States last year visiting my in-laws, my Mom would keep on calling me at 3 or 4 at night. Even though I explained to her a million tims how she has to do the time difference thing...and then she bitched at me for never picking up (I always put my phone on vibrate only at night.)

I'm going to say YDI for ignoring your mother, only because he said "if you ignore her long enough" so obviously he had been doing it for a while

78, I think he was saying it was the cops. My mother kept calling me at inconvenient times and I couldn't answer. She then sent a text asking if everything was okay because she hadn't heard from me since sunday. this was wednesday and we regularly go without talking for a month.

dude, it's your mom. of course she's gonna worry about you.. the real FML would be if she DIDN'T worry about you

I agree, if she didn't do anything you would probably have wrote about how your life is ****** cause your mom doesn't care about you. She is your mom, you shouldn't ignore her!

not really. it'd be nice if i could go more than a week without my mom pestering me about some insipid bullshit. although i'm guessing at some point OP's mom asked if he was okay, in which case he should have given her a quick "i'm fine" before continuing to ignore her.

My life got a lot less stressful when my mom stopped worrying about me. Freedom tastes like sweet delicious nectar.

Well, don't ignore your mom. That's pretty easy, right?

Nine in the afternoon? They have one of those? That must be like these fabled "Sunday mornings" I have heard of but never experienced.

It's sorta like, eight days a week. Sunday mornings remind me too much of Veggie Tales. x-x

Oh, I didn't think anyone was going to get it! Thank you #57. And #5. (Unless #57 was referring to Veggie Tales. I was referring to Nine In The Afternoon. It made my day, redbluegreen.) OP: Your mother sounds like an overprotective one. Very. She went to great lengths to make sure you were safe. Show some love for your caring mother.

Yes, I was referring to Nine in the Afternoon. I'm glad someone got it and that I made your day HeyLady42. :D

Maybe you're dead and don't know it? haha, pretty overprotective.

Yeah, moms are like that. Which is why, if my mom calls, I at least pick up and say "I'm alive, gotta go."

Hahaha don't ignore her then!

Also I agree with the first comment, Some parents don't even give a shit about their kids. And some kids don't even have a mom. So be grateful for your overprotected mum
